Dear families, children, and friends,

It is a pleasure to welcome you to Step Ahead Pre Primary and Primary School. Every day, our classrooms come alive with curiosity, kindness, and the joy of learning. We believe that primary education should ignite a lifelong love of discovery while nurturing the character and wellbeing of every child.

At Step Ahead, we hold fast to a simple promise: every child known, every child challenged, every child cherished. Our broad and balanced curriculum blends strong foundations in literacy and numeracy. You will see children asking brave questions, collaborating thoughtfully, celebrating differences, and building resilience through purposeful play and meaningful projects.

We place safety, inclusion, and wellbeing at the heart of school life. Our staff are dedicated professionals who model our core values—kindness, respect, courage, and responsibility—and who work closely with families to support each child’s unique strengths and needs. We are proud of our diverse community and strive to ensure that every child feels seen, heard, and inspired to do their best.

Learning does not stop at the classroom door. From outdoor learning, field trips, competitions to clubs, pupils have many ways to explore passions, develop leadership, and make a positive difference. We encourage children to take thoughtful risks, learn from mistakes, and celebrate progress as much as achievement.

Partnership with parents and carers is central to our success. We welcome your ideas and involvement—whether through attending events, or simply sharing a conversation at the gate. Together, we can give our children the confidence and skills to thrive now and in the future.

I invite you to explore our website, visit us, and see for yourself the warmth and ambition that define Step Ahead. If you have any questions, please do get in touch.

With warm regards,
Jane Wilcox

Director
Step Ahead School
